LARGE VEINS.
A MINING DISTRICT THAT Is COM.
ING TO THE FRONT.
And Whose Ores Will be Brought to
Great Falls for Reduction, or
Shipment, next Sum

Quite number of old-timers of the
Barker and Neihart mining regions have
been here recently. From conversation
with them we learn that Barker is sure
to come to the front the coming summer.
The past three weeks have developed
the fact that there are series of blanket
veins or or fiat deposits in the immediate
vicinity of thas camp, which show all the
signs of deposit similar to Leadville.
Many miners have staid with this
camp for the past eight years, knowing
| that the minerals were there. From the
latest discoveries it seems that not only
have they the carbonates of silver and
lead, but also it is going to be gold pro-
ducing camp. Specimens have been
brought in this week BY George Allis
that conclusively prove that Barker is a
gold, silver, copper, lead and probably a
tin bearing camp.
The specimens exhibited by Mr.. Allis
are essentially gold bearing in character
As eight years ago, old miners predicted
that in the future all prospectors in this
vicinity would search for ore other than
yet found, it seems now, that we are go
ing to have in the Barker district a large
area of carbonate deposits similar in
character to that of Leadville: not only
that, but large oxide deposits of copper
at the head of the trail; and in addition
thereto, new discovery of gold in that
vicinity.
The mountains in that region are al
most wholly unprospected, and on the
advent of the railroad we may expect to
see the whole of that locality completely
covered with locations which will furnish
their quota to the future reduction works
at Great Falls.

which was called for by the secretary, is
the result of Indian inspector Armstrong;
visit. The latter is now here, but refuses
to make public the result of his investiga-
tions. It is believed, however, that he
found Williamson had neglected to com
ply with the secretary's order to advertise
the grazing privileges, leaving the,
monopoly In the hands Of one outfit, who
had simply a private agreement as to their
occupancy. When directed to lease the
lands, Williamson wrote the secretary
eounselling delay, saying the Indians
wanted the steckmen then ON the lands to
have the grazing. The secretary made no
reply. Armstrong also found that Will
Hanson had made a contract giving Nc
Cormick McNutt the right to cut hay
on the reservation, though having noright
to make such contract. Armstrong tore
their contract up and made them pay the
Indians So per ton for the hay. Charges
of u personal nature were also made, that
Williamson is loud, profane and quick
tempered.

BISMARCK PLOTTING.
The German Military Service Bill Creates
Stir.

a Stir.
BERLIN, December 12.-The preamble
of the new German military service bill
was issued tonight. 1t sets forth that the
German army is composed of men whose
liability to serve in the active army ex-
tends only to 70 years, whereas in the
Russian army the period is Is years, and
in the French 20. Besides this, it must
be considered, says the preamble, that
the geographical position of Germany
exposes her to attacks by powerful ar
mics on two frontiers simultaneously.
Her security lies in her strength, and
this should be greater than it is at pres
ent, and an end must be put to the exist
ing uncomfortable condition of things
The government therefore expects that
to secure the passage of the present bill
it will be sufficient to appeal to the patri-
otism of the German people. By the bill
before the reichstag the Sky yearly classes
formerly composed part of the land
strum, are placed in immediate readiness
for any emergency.
The whole tone Of this remarkable
manifesto suggests that the recent out
burst of the official press over the mass
ing of Russian troops on the frontier had
something of fictitious character
Prince Bismarck is known to have great
" hurt the chances for the Immediate
passage of the landstrum bill, which the
military press now estimates will add
100000 men to the effective force in the
event of mobilization, so a press CAM
paign, recalling the similar agitation
preceding the septennate vote, was in
cited, and will be sustained until the bill
passes.
The concentration of Russian troops
on the frontier at the present time is
part of a long concocted plan of the Rus
sian war office. They are considered to
be necessitated by the special difficulties
of Russian mobilization At the. same
time the presence of formidable masses
of Russian troops within striking dis
tance of the frontier will be held by the
reichstag as a justification for the COM
plete reform of the military.

Attempts the Life of Ex-Prime Minister
Ferry.
PARIS, December 12.-Ferry has been
shot by a man named Aubertin, who ap-
peared in the hall of the chamber of dep
uties and asked to see both Ferry and
Goblet. On Saturday Goblet did not re-
spond to Aubertin's request for an inter
view, but Ferry did, and on his appear
ance Aubertin drew revolver and fired
three times at him. The wounds were
slight and M. Ferry was able to proceed
to the hospital, supported by friends. In
reply to inquiries by friends as to the Sc
verify of his wound, he responded: It is
nothing" Aubertin has been arrested.
he had fired the shots, but we're prevented
with difficulty from carrying out their in
tention. The real name of the assailant
is Breckein. He is 20 years old. He
states that he is one of a band of 20 revo-
lutionists. The band drew lots, and it
fell to him to commit the first crime.
Berckein declares that he swore to kill
Ferry. After his injuries had been al
tended to at the hospital, Ferry returned
to his home ON foot. A bulletin issued
by DR.. Treiot states that the wound in
Ferry's chest is a confusion.
In consequence Of the attempt on the
life of Ferry, there were many heated
quarrels in the chamber of deputies be-
tween moderates and radicals. Rouvier

Judge Jackson then began to charge the
jury. The judges charge occupied an
hour and fifty minutes. 1t was strongly
against Harper, and the judge declared
the prisoner committed wrongful acts of
his own admission. Summing up, he said
the court instructs the jury that it must
find on his own testimony that the de-
fendant had committed a crime. The jury
were then instructed as to the form of
the verdict, and they were taken to their
room to begin their consultation. The
verdict will not be received until today.

Russia Prepar;np

PARIS, December Z. 7.-According to pri-

of Russian troops on the frontier Is at

of a concerted plan by Germany and Aus
tria for united action in the event of war
between either of these powers and Rus

ed that Germany and Austria should sud

Warsaw, by using greater facilities for

THE CRUISER ATLANTA.
Secretary Whitney Recommends Fur
ther Trial.

WASHINGTON, December 10.-Captain
Bunce's report as commander of the cruz
ser Atlanta, is published today. The only
new phrase Of the matter is the endorse
ment of secretary Whitney, which dis
poses Of the subject in the following lam
guage:
The department deems that the Atlanta
should have some continuous service be-
fore charges are made. The suggestions
of captain Bunce are valuable and entire
ly proper, doubtless without any expecta-
tions that his comments upon the ship
would be treated as anything else than a
professional discussion for the benefit Ct
the department in the future. Many of
the criticisms have been discussed here
tofore, and some of her known defects
were Intentionally overlooked by her de.
signers for the purpose of securing bene-
fits in other directions. Aside from the
lack of speed, she represents type with
merits and defects, and the balance can
be struck after she has had service. None
of the alleged defects have been repro
duced In subsequent vessels now in course
of construction.

ANOTHER STAGE LINE.

Communication.

Communication.
There is some talk of an effort being
made to get tri-weekly mail line estab
lished aetWeen Lewiston and Stanford for
more direct communication with Great
Falls, Fort Benton, Helena and the east.
To reach points on the Manitoba, people
of this section have to travel in circle
and go at least forty miles out of their
way under the present stage facilities.
The new line will take the most direct
route to Stanford, probably following the
Spring creek valley down to the Judith
as near as practicable. This line would
be d great convenience to parties who de-
sire to visit the Future Great Helena
or Benton. To parties going east it
would save nights staging Under the

has become the terminus Of the Montana

A Free Trader.


New York, December Mayor Hew-
lit said after he had read the presidents
message:
81 think he is very wise in confining its
subject to the financial question. He
grasps the fact that the surplus in the
treasury is dangerous both to our busi-
ness interests and to political morality of
congress. He points out clearly that it
can only be reduced by increased expen-
ditures or by the reduction of taxation;
the latter is, of course, the only states
manlike method. He proposes tariff re-
duction substantially upon the raw mate
rials of industry. This is the policy /
recommended in 1888, and every year
subsequently in bills which introduced
or in speeches which l made upon the
floor.

acrimeny: "Gentlemen of the jury: I
don't know that the court has anything to
thank you for. You are discharged from
all further duty" He then instructed the
clerk to issue new venire and in con
formity with these instructions the fol-
lowing persons from this city were sub
